    It was originally a Brit only show ,starring other people and less a mindless actioner more a confusing and overdone psychological drama when it debuted.You can still see hint of the psychological bit in the first(second)season.

    I enjoy Strike Back as it's the only show where they handle the weapons right but it does (I think) purposely drive people batty as it is constantly going off in all directions,seldom for any apparent reason.

    Seems more realistic than most action shows. At least does not sound too far off some of the US missions in the Middle East.

    So, I'm looking at After Earth.

    After some, frankly, terrible voice-over exposition work by Will Smith's kid, we've got Will Smith as the borderline emotionally abusive father, who's gotten to be a war hero through something that sounds a bit like sociopathy. Also, every building in the future was inspired by the Sidney Opera house, and while things apparently still get, and stay, dirty here and there, they seem to really like impractical engineering, building things I really wouldn't want to clean.

    Also, they can't re-attach or make people new legs, if they lose them, apparently, despite what seems to be fairly advanced tech, otherwise.

    The overacting and shitty future-accents is just a bonus, I guess.

    ...that movie was pretty dumb, altogether.

    I usually find something worthwhile in most sci-fi, but not so much in this one.

    Wasn't sure I wanted anything to do with that when I saw it had the Smith kid in it.

    It's also just dawned on me that Dexter and Breaking Bad will both be airing their series finales on the same night, at the same time. I'm really going to have to avoid the internets this Sunday evening. Gonna have to turn the iphone off and everything to prevent accidental spoilers.

    Breaking Bad is so, so, so awesome!1 they're ending it properly!!! And the last two episodes are each going to be 15 minutes longer! Dexter, i don't know wtf they're doing. To say its the last ever episode they've fucked it as far as I’m concerned. they're concentrating on characters that have been in it for just a few episodes, Dexter's turned into a pussy. All the new characters are terrible. Everything’s so obvious and clumsy, i feel cheated. (feelings, lolz )


    /in other mobile phone news, i'm getting a new one tomorrow my shitty Blackberry contracts come to an end! Works offered me an iPhone 5 but i don't like iPhones, or work plus they could ....you know.........ring me..... i've gone for a windows 8 phone, an entry/mid level one to keep my phone bill cheap each month - its a nokia lumia 520. Just enough power and screen size on it to watch stuffs, look at cat pictures on the internets and play siegecraft (and maybe text and call people....)

    I have a strong feeling Dexter is going to end with Saxon killing Hanna. After all, every lady Dexter's tried to hook up with has disappeared from his life, usually by being brutally murdered. Just like Paul Kersey in the Death Wish movies, who is after all a less stealthy version of him

    Your feeling would be wrong then.

    The true travesty is that as the series winds down,so much plot is wasted on new or peripheral characters.

    Spoilerish.
